Crysencio Summerville returns to Elland Road this Friday night as Leeds United welcome West Ham to West Yorkshire.
Leeds need to get back to winning ways this weekend, after losing away to relegation rivals Burnley 2-0 last time out.
West Ham, meanwhile, come up to Elland Road looking poor at the moment and in need of a drastic turnaround under Nuno Espirito Santo.

Crysencio Summerville sends warning to Leeds United ahead of Elland Road return with West Ham
The Irons look devoid of quality at both ends of the pitch, but if Nuno wants to get the best out of his side, Crysencio Summerville is likely to be important.
Since leaving Leeds for a reported £25million plus add-ons, Summerville hasn’t exactly enjoyed his time at the London Stadium. That’s largely thanks to an injury-ridden first season, while Graham Potter’s terrible spell hardly lifted spirits.

Now, managed by Espirito Santo, Summerville is confident that he’s going to see his best form soon, starting this week.
“Working with Nuno has been brilliant so far,” Summerville told West Ham’s site. “He wants me to just do my thing, and be free in the final third while doing the basics well in defence.
“That’s what a winger wants to hear, and that’s what I’m trying to do. He understands my strengths, and he wants me to make the most of those, so let’s hope I can do that in the weeks and months ahead!”
Jayden Bogle has his work cut out for Leeds United against West Ham’s Crysencio Summerville
At both ends of the pitch, Leeds’ two full-backs could be the reason we win this game. Jayden Bogle needs to have his wits about him with Summerville and El Hadji Malick Diouf down the Irons’ left.
If Bogle keeps the Dutchman quiet all game, then it gives Leeds a very good platform going the other way.
Meanwhile, keeping Jarrod Bowen from influencing the match is one of Gabriel Gudmundsson’s biggest and most important tests yet.
Should Leeds’ full-backs come out on top against West Ham, there’s every chance we win.
